Read:
David Chang's Eat A Peach.
To become a chef requires practice, patience, and refinement—usually. David Chang, from word one, has been at odds with this blueprint. Humorously tempestuous and unabashedly honest, his memoir is an examination that eschews what the measures of success are and should be.

Watch:
Beastie Boys Story
Ad-Rock and Mike D stand on stage and narrate the accompanying images and films of their careers with both sheer joy and hands-over-eyes embarrassment of their youth's hubris—something anyone can relate to. It's an entertaining and interesting jump into the depth of their musical evolution and a homage to the real soul of the Beastie Boys, the late Adam Yauch.

Listen:
Monocle's The Entrepreneurs
From their main series to their historical shorts, The Spirit Lives On which figures of note (think Amelia Earhart), and Eureka, a mini podcast told by founders in their own words, The Entrepreneurs is chock-full of fascinating journeys around building businesses.

Shop:
Mast Books
Using their own succinct and fitting description, Mast is a "straightforward book store stocking used & rare volumes on a variety of topics."

Inspiration:
Pharrell
With the launch of Humanrace, his agender line of sustainable skincare, and his foray into architecture with Untitled Residences in Toronto, Williams is using his creative sensibility and ethos to ever-evolve across disciplines.
